i found this: "To fix this issue run your steam as Administrator. Exit your steam, right click the steam icon and select 'Run as Administrator.' And to have it permanent ran as Administrator, simply right click your steam.exe, then go to properties and check it at compatibles. "

the guy said it worked but idk what he means i know how to run as admin though

if you still cant figure it out than

> start steam via "run as administrator"

> run ARMA 2 once and exit

> select ARMA 2: OA and choose 'Launch A2: CO mode' either in STEAM game menu or after doubleclick the game entry in STEAM ...

if that don't work verify cache of both games and repeat the steps

detly, it hasn't worked for me as well. The only way I can play is via SixLauncher. The only minor issue I have is that I then cannot have the Steam overlay, but that's minor.

try downloading the sixUpdater/Launcher and it should work.
